Don’t Mess With the Zohan
June 6, 2008

It has been a few years since Adam Sandler had a hit comedy at the box office. Could it have been 1999’s Big Daddy? The movie brought in $234 million internationally before Little Nicky and Mr. Deeds disappointed audiences and turned Sandler over to the darker side with dramas like Punch-Drunk Love and Reign Over Me. This summer he’s back to what made him a star: An unlikely hero in an even unlikelier situation. As Zohan, an Israeli Mossad agent who “hides” in New York City as a hairdresser, Sandler is teaming with writers Robert Smigel and Judd Apatow. In case that’s not enough to make a summer hit, reuniting with Big Daddy director Dennis Dugan should do the trick.
